I like the ring of truth in this but I have great difficulty with it. Like, to the point that it's becoming a problem.
Other people stop wanting the impossible, wanting more instant gratification than is good for them, wanting easier solutions than exist, etc., but I never, ever stop wanting all of it. Sometimes I feel like a great hungry maw with an infinite sweet tooth. Utterly unreconciled with the "universal condition of mankind" and unready to grapple with it.
Wanting's fine. All you have to do is work on getting it.
